Split
If you want to delete the separated part from the original object, you can choose Delete directly after
Split since the selection is still active (this works only if you are in polygon mode).
The Split function differs very slightly from the Disconnect function; the difference is that, when using
Split, the disconnected surfaces leave a separate object behind. The original object is not changed. This
tool can also be applied to splines. A separate spline is created from the separated segment (as with
polygon objects). When splitting splines, a point selection and point mode are required.
Add Point
This tool allows you to add new points to objects. The tool works in all three modes: point, edge and
polygon. A selection is not required. You can add points onto polygon surfaces or onto edges.
Using the Add Point tool to project and move points in the polygon mode and edge mode.
To add a point onto an element (polygon or edge):
 Move the mouse pointer over the element. When the mouse pointer is over
the element, the element will highlight in yellow.
 Click and hold down the mouse button to project the point onto the
element.
 With the mouse button still held down, drag to move the projected point to
the desired position. Release the mouse button.
